Most Bradley men's basketball games to be streamed or aired

All but four of the Bradley men’s basketball team’s 31 games will be broadcast on some cable television or Internet format, the school announced Thursday.

Starting times for most games were also released.

Eighteen of those broadcasts can be seen only as streaming video on Internet-based ESPN3, including 14 of the Braves’ 15 home games.

The Braves’ home game against Loyola (Jan. 31) as well as road contests at Loyola (Jan. 13), Illinois State (Jan. 17), Valparaiso (Feb. 17) and Missouri State (Feb. 21) are all set for MVC TV Network.

Of the team’s televised games, the Missouri Valley Conference announced on Thursday that Bradley will be featured a league-high five times on the MVC-TV Network

That network includes coverage on FOX Sports Midwest — along with sister regional cable outlets FOX Sports Indiana and Kansas City — and NBC Sports Chicago (formerly known as Comcast SportsNet Chicago).

Bradley will also be featured on NBC Sports Chicago+ during the nonconference season when the Braves host Eastern Illinois on Dec. 1.

Three of Bradley’s road nonconference games will also be broadcast on conference digital networks — San Diego State on Dec. 3 (Mountain West Network), Southeast Missouri State on Dec. 20 (OVC the Digital Network) and Mississippi on Dec. 22 (SEC Network+).

The Braves’ regular-season finale Feb. 24 vs. Indiana State is also eligible for the MVC Wildcard selection with a possibility of either airing on ESPN or CBS Sports Network. All other remaining home games and MVC contests will air on The Valley on ESPN3.

The four games in which BU can not be seen are the three contests at the Islands of the Bahamas Showcase Nov. 17-19 and the Dec. 16 nonconference game at Chicago State.

As usual, the first six contests of the league’s MVC championship will be aired on FOX Sports and NBC Sports Chicago. The semifinals are shown on CBS Sports Network and the title game will air on CBS for a 13th straight season.

Bradley officially opens the 2017-18 regular season on Saturday, Nov. 11, with a home game against IUPUI. Game time at Carver Arena is set for 1 p.m. and will be shown live on ESPN3.
